    "Revenge... Is that what I am searching for..? I will take my judging hands far away from this world just to immerse myself in you, because I will no longer be able to stand loss of my loved ones, because now, I found love and hope, and dammit, I even found happiness. I won't lose them, not again, not for an eternity. Because... Because we need you, and only you can save us, Princess." From the opening scene, a blast from the future.​
    It was a long time ago, she founded us, she breathed us into her world, created us from love... Her love. But, where is she now, when she is most needed? Gone. Not a trace left but her lore... And even that is scarce. If not for him... They would be alive, and our world wouldn't be this swiveling mess it is now... We need you.

    Story Synopsis:
    You reside in Foralia, just a small town in the large country of Kirish, a massive floating island above the world of Laia. Foralia is known for its flying fish, giant and colorful flowers, and its peaceful atmosphere. You are it's first visitor in thousands of years, after the Great Abyss War, teleportation circles sprouted from the ground you walked. It was something you've waited for your whole life, Kirish... What you've been studying and studying since your parents died. It sounded so... Perfect. A place away from it all, where you could settle down and live your life the way you wanted, peacefully. But soon after you settle in, you realized that maybe perfection isn't all it's cracked up to be.
    -This is a Harvest Moon styled game, with a major fantasy/dark twist. There are multiple plots in the game: One is to save the Princess of the Sky (Isabella) by finding your true love (You can court and marry one of the four bachelorettes). And the other is to defeat the King who is stealing her magic.
    -Please do not place this story in that of a happy/jolly Harvest Moon game. As you progress through the story and the seasons, the game becomes considerably dark.




    World Development:
    Kirish is a huge floating landmass that sits high above the clouds. Due to the teleportation circles many more people are finding out about it's existence. However it keeps well enough protected for one to have yet to see it float in the sky. This land is filled with beautiful architecture, giant flowers, floating fish, gentle and fearsome creatures, and Fae (Or Faeries). The land holds pride in their precious color, and their perfectly flowing rainbows. The people that occupy this land have a lot to do, whether they are pirates that sail through the skies, rainbow collectors that collect the colors from spent rainbows and dispose of them, or simply a scholar that knows all there is to know about their land. Kirish holds itself to high standards and the government rarely does a thing unplanned. Everyone in Kirish is born with magical powers, and they use them for practically everything. Even the main character (who is not from the land) is granted some forms of magic powers that he will have to increase to become more influential in the village.

    Foralia is a town located directly next to Muse, the capital city of Kirish, also where the castle is located. You can reach Muse in-game by taking the Corale Groves north to the gate.

    Characters:
    Spoiler
    These are the marriageable Bachelor/ettes in SO (in alphabetical order for easy referencing)

    Arvella2_zps9b4997cd.png
    Arvella is a feisty, free-spirited dwarf. Often times in Foralia, people comment on her young appearance and she often (and not without attitude) reminds them that she is of dwarven blood and is actually about 125 years old! In *human terms, that's about twenty~ She has a twin brother, Ross, who she came to Foralia with (and her two friends Rinduil and Caswen) a few years back when they were tired of the constant bickering amongst the citizens of *Kai'Eki.
    Birthday: Fall 12th
    Family: Ross
    Favorite Gift: Any alchemy items.
    Rival Bachelor: Unrivaled

    Caswen2_zpsed2b3458.png
    Caswen is a shy, intelligent, and bashful young elf. In *human terms she is about 22, in elf years that's about 150. She spends most of her days in the various libraries around Foralia. With her help, you can enter the coveted library that once belonged to a young Librarian named Amelia- It's a rickety old place in the daylight, but enter at night, and you'll see the magic! She came here with her best friends, Rinduil, Ross, and Arvella from Kai'Eki, a town on the very west side of Kirish. She takes a minute to warm up to you, but she is a very useful ally, and completely soulful and adorable.
    Birthday: Winter 21st
    Family: None
    Favorite Gift: Any book.
    Rival Bachelor: Rinduil

    keito2_zps16b33ba9.png
    Keito is the kind-hearted dojo owner. When he was young, he lost his entire family to a pack of demons. He vowed to become strong so he opened his own training facility and trains there daily. He can come off as cold, and un-caring, but it's hard to gain his trust. He is also extremely intelligent, and often speaks in poetic tongue, especially if he likes you, especially if you're a female. He has two people he loves more than anything, Rinduil, and Sequoia. Sequoia and he grew up together, almost post-fetus. Their families were close, and although they were each lost because of different reasons, they struggled together and came out on top. He and Rinduil have very similar personalities and are often seen together at the training facility.

    Once you get to know Keito he is a very powerful ally in the fight against the king and will be there with you to the death. He is loyal, and protective and will very well give his life up for you (especially if you're married to him *swoon*). He can be a bit of a fire-cracker, though, so watch out!
    Birthday: Winter 4th
    Family: Deceased
    Favorite Gift: Any weapon.
    Rival Bachelorette: Sequoia.

    kira2_zps160d2231.png
    Kira is an ex-maid of the Castle in Muse. This one eyed girl is a very prominent leader of Foralia as she is very well-informed of the ongoings of the castle, and other than the king, she is the only one who knows the whereabouts of the Princess. Talk to her to get the plot moving. She can be very strict, and straight to the point. She is very on task and rarely strays from that. Get to know her well enough and you may even figure out what happened to her eye!
    Birthday: Spring 10th
    Family: Secret

    Favorite Gift: Roses
    Rival Bachelor: Kori

    Hopefully I can soon get this out of the feedback stage (Meaning I actually have to sit down and fumble with something other than a map) and into the development stage. Screenshots will be up soon!

  2. Sounds cool, looking forward to this one Ruby, Harvest Moon style sounds interesting. Though the no screenshots till tomorrow is kinda a cliffhanger haha. :razz:
  3. OMIGOSH. Such an awesome title. Following.
  4. I look forward to those screenshots, trolling us all like that, who raised you :p

    But all in all, it looks great just from the black letters and flashy title logo, ME WANTZ PLAY
  5. I can't wait for this game. I especially would like to see your execution of "Harvest Moon" styled play. :)
  6. Sounds really exciting. Can't wait for the screenshots!
  7. Updated with a few screens of the housing district of Foralia. (I'm a terrible mapper.)
  8. Very interesting. I like the Harvest Moon style and your idea of the dark twist.

    Your mapping is not that terrible, but put some more details in and do not all so straight (for example the paths).
  9. Small update: Who would you marry? I'm fiddling with the hero of the game. I'm not sure which gender I want it to be, I'm leaning towards female (because I swoon over the males) but I definitely think the game would work better if the main hero was male. :/

    Bachelors/bachelorettes are added up top. <3
  10. Hmm...well, the game would be extremely unique and different with a female character! It would stand out even more than it does now. :p
  11. Well, take a look at luchino's game. nuff said.

    (not trying to say that game is only awesome because of the female protagonist >__>)

    Sorry, but if you have nothing to contribute to this thread itself, please don't comment. It's extremely rude, and while I love Enelysion, this isn't the place to talk about it. But, I'm sure she'd love to hear that you think her game is awesome!
  13. wowowoooo I was trying to say like: damn, a female protagonist is cool. It wasn't meant to be rude or whatsoever. I actually like where your game is going. jeez...

    That is completely understood! I'm still saying, it's kinda disrespectful to me (and kinda her!). Thank you for your support!

    Edit: So that this post wasn't useless, I updated with my finished title screen. It took me a few hours to just get a mediocre result, however I'm very happy with it, thanks to all the feedback I got from it!
  15. GORGEOUS screenshots.  What kind of tilesets are you using for this?

    Best of luck!

    It's a mixture of what I can get my hands on really. This really just shows off Celianna's amazing work, and some RTP. However in an updated version of that screen up there I've mixed a bit of the arabian tileset in there as well. :) Thanks for the feedback!
  17. All I can say is, FINISH NOW. I wanna play! XD Oh, and maybe you can have the characters drawn for it. An awesome game deserves awesome original artwork.
